I wonder if it's random or is there some method to the post count reduction, e.g.
postcount = postcount-posts with one line or less. I.e. Only show the number of worthwhile posts.

Was there any method used in determining how many posts people lost?

I certainly don't use AH, TCN or the Thunderdome very often.

There's always a metho, there is no random.
TCN posts are the only ones that matter.

Let me see. I'll be able to tell how many I've lost now.

I think around 1500-2000.

Nice one Ecksor. Chaos is stability.

As I have made three posts I would hate to think of the algorithm you used. Or on a more scary level how your brain made it so.

I'm pretty sure I went up as well. If it's a rule for After Hours, my sig is all the better.

Hobbes used to have a postcount that would vary randomly, maybe that's been applied sitewide?

I can see that some people have lost post count for writing tiny posts, I lost about 20-30 that way? But how do some people GAIN posts? I gained almost 1,000 doing nothing!
